I'm suddenly thinking about Mendy. Just concerned about Kepa getting a few games, and Foster having lost out to Bachmann by then again.
Fantasy Premier League 21/22
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Well Azpi and Christensen will start for sure.
Ederson is better from next week. He has played a minimum of 35 games over the last 3 seasons.
Yeah, but I am already wildcarding this week... Foster playing Liverpool doesn't feel good.
Have Sanchez and Ederson and take out Sanchez next week or the week after.
Doesn't feel like it is essentially worth a -4 to me.
Eurgh. No Rudiger so I have to bring in 2 defenders.
Watch Pep bench Cancelo now. Dias isn't 100% safe either with Stones needing a game.

So who to bring in for Rudiger? Azpi or Cancelo? Both these managers can rotate, but Azpi should be nailed with Rudiger out although probably playing central defense.
Why not go Christensen? He was already a regular, missing 1 of the last 6, and with Rudiger and Silva out is a certainty now.
But he comes in only for one week.
Yeah, but he is not very attacking. I guess Cancelo is not super attacking either, but he is the most likely City defender to haul.
Azpi depend on the role he got. Chilwell my favorite, but too risky with Alonso around.
Tricky here. I think maybe go Foden and Azpi make most sense so Pep roulette do not destroy me.
After last two week I regret going boring. Azpi and Cancelo hauled with Rudiger and Dias doing badly.
So the magical
TAA-Rudiger-Cancelo dream combo didn't even get to play 1 week together then!! Have to laugh.
I had been set on the below wildcard, which had 0.0 in the bank
Sanchez Foster
TAA Rudiger Cancelo White Livra
Salah Raph Foden Townsend 4.4m Brownhill
Lukaku Jiminez Antonio
Now I think Rudiger to Christensen is a smart move, but where to add that missing 0.7m?
I do still have that slight itch about cramming Ronaldo in, and the below does it beautifully, whilst still keeping the 3 big team defenders, decent mid, and gets the Arsenal form keeper in too. With Arsenal's current run of games, playing 4 at the back wouldn't be a bad idea to make up for the lack of 2nd big hitter....in mid.
Ramsdale Foster
TAA Cancelo Christensen White Duffy
Salah Raph Townsend Mbeumo Brownhill
Ronaldo Lukaku Hwang

Always a risk with teams with a few options, but he has played 90 in 5 of the 7 games.
Second team looks really good. Those cheap players are all looking good. If you want someone else then you just sell Ronaldo I guess.
All set.
Sa
Duffy Cancelo Tierney
Sarr Salah (c) Jota Greenwood
Ronaldo (vc) Antonio Jimenez
Subs: Steer, Allan, Rudiger, Williams

Anyone considering Walker...? 5.5m, who else could possibly play at RB for them? Cancelo I guess if Zinchenko plays on the left
Is there any indication how long Rudiger is out for?
I don't mind benching him if he will be back next week but am willing to offload if he misses more than one game...?

I think he’s going to get a big score this weekend. He looked very sharp for Germany during the week.

My draft team this week is
Mendy
Dias Alonso Tierney
Son Bruno Foden Saka
Jimenez Werner Antonio
Bench: Raphinha, Duffy, Marcal, Schmeichel
Could go big or bust

He's on my WC.
Everyone forgetting Reece James. Perfect replacement for Rudiger.
- More attacking
- Cheaper
- Recovered
The only issue is that the full backs at Chelsea aren't guaranteed to play so if you have a playing bench, he could be a good option...

I’m considering both him and Cancelo instead of Dias and Cancelo.
Am I reading this right? Ziyech is out with a headache? Wth.

Nope still not changing the team. You will stay out Trent for a few weeks!
Basically the decision is Trent or Son.
Prob Covid precaution, as a possible mild symptom?
To be fair it could be something serious, it must be pretty severe for him to be missing because of it.
He usually looks sharp. It’s just that he’s shit at finishing.
Yeah. I’m fairly sure he missed a couple of easy chances but by the end of the last game he genuinely looked like scoring nearly every time he got on it. Hopefully the penny hasn’t dropped with him and he remains as inconsistent as ever. Him and Rom doing a Martinez and Rom would be bad news for us. if he could sort out his finishing would be a top player. No shortage of guts and workrate. Just lacking that bit of quality and killer instinct. Reckon he’ll be a top striker once he gets a bit older and he finds a manager that’ll consistently play him central. Hopefully back in Germany or something
I don’t have either.
I'm holding Rudiger and replacing Shaw instead. He's only survived this long because I've been dealing with injuries with my transfers for weeks.
Is Reece James actually fit?
I think I’ve gone too strong with my bench. My budget midfielder is ESR, but it feels a bit weird downgrading him to Brownhill. I’d have to end up playing Mbuemo against Chelsea or 5 defenders (which just feels wrong).
I guess it’s an easy downgrade if I’m struggling for cash in a few weeks.

Really close to make the move Rudiger to Cancelo. Any new info that makes it is a bad move?
Not that anyone know if Pep will rest him

Will Pep-o-roulette be better than Tom-o-roulette?
No idea. Last season I had better luck with Pep roulette, but I played it safe. This year I am going risky.
Brought in cancelo and foden. Be shocked/delighted if both start.
I’m going to take out Rudiger for Christensen since I’m on a WC. I have already gained 0.1 and Rudiger isn’t going to rise in price. If he drops to 5.7 I can re-buy him and essentially not lose money even though I got him for 5.6. Thoughts? @Dirty Schwein @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson @Sandikan
